After returning from a trip to Fuzhou, my consumption perspective collapsed! Came to a city because of a song

My dears, is there a song that, like a gentle breeze, stirs your yearning for a historic city? When I heard "Three Lanes and Seven Alleys, the alleys are leisurely, the Minjiang River flows, the years pass by, the wind from Gushan Mountain blows through my heart, Fuzhou, Fuzhou, my hometown", this song "Fuzhou, Fuzhou" uses soothing melody and poetic lyrics to outline the ancient and modern style of Fuzhou, which made me eager to set foot on the land of this blessed state in February. Come and take a look at my strategy! 🌆Impression of Fuzhou Fuzhou is like an ancient book with the fragrance of books and ink, where the cultural heritage and natural scenery complement each other. In Fuzhou in February, it is late winter and early spring, the weather is pleasant and the sun shines gently on the streets and alleys. The white walls and black tiles of Sanfang and Qixiang are arranged in an orderly manner, and the air in the alleys is filled with the breath of history; the Minjiang River flows slowly and sparkles; the streets are filled with the fresh aroma of meat dumplings and fish balls. Tradition and leisure are intertwined, and every corner exudes a unique charm, like a paradise. 🚗Transportation Guide ✈️Airplane: After arriving at Fuzhou Changle International Airport, there are airport buses to various places in the city, and you can also transfer to the subway. It is convenient and efficient. It takes about 40-50 minutes to reach the city center and start a wonderful journey. 🚌Urban transportation: Most public transportation in Fuzhou can be paid with Alipay or WeChat QR code. The subway lines are gradually being improved. Download the "e Fuzhou" APP and scan the QR code to enter the station for convenient travel. I want to visit the old houses in Cangshan, ride a shared bicycle among them, and experience the unique literary and artistic style. 🗺 Tour route Day1: Three Lanes and Seven Alleys - Nanhou Street - Lin Zexu Memorial Hall - Daming Food Street Day2: Gushan - Guling - Minjiang Night Tour (Enjoy the night view of Fuzhou) - Dongbai Center (Food, Shopping) Day3: Fujian Museum - West Lake Park - Return to Baolong City Plaza to buy specialties 🌟Must-visit attractions 1. Three Lanes and Seven Alleys: This ancient street area can be called the source of Fuzhou's history and the root of its culture. Yijinfang, Wenrufang, Guanglufang, Yangqiao Lane, Langguan Lane, and Ta Lane are crisscrossed. Walking through the area, you will see former residences of celebrities and time-honored shops lined up one after another. You seem to be able to touch the pulse of history, echo the ancient rhyme chanted in "Fuzhou, Fuzhou", and feel the profound cultural heritage of Fuzhou. 2. Gushan: "You can't see the temple when you enter the mountain, and you can't see the mountain when you enter the temple." The Yongquan Temple in Gushan is famous. Climb the mountain along the winding ancient path, admire the cliff carvings, breathe the fresh air, and overlook the entire city of Fuzhou after reaching the top. You can appreciate the beauty of the fusion of city and nature, and experience the tranquility of Fuzhou. 3. Fujian Museum: A treasure trove of cultural relics with rich collections, ranging from ancient stone tools to modern paintings and calligraphy, comprehensively displaying the historical changes of Fujian. The free exhibition hall allows people to immerse themselves in the ocean of knowledge, explore the traces of time, and appreciate the profound heritage of Fujian. 4. Night Cruise on the Minjiang River: As night falls, board a cruise ship and slowly sail along the Minjiang River. The lights on both sides of the river are bright, and high-rise buildings and historical sites complement each other. Feel the prosperous night view of Fuzhou and indulge in the unique charm of this city. Practical tips 🎫Tickets are required for attractions such as Gushan Yongquan Temple and Minjiang Night Cruise. You can book in advance on the official WeChat account or major travel platforms. There are often discounts and you can avoid the trouble of queuing on site. The Fujian Museum is free, but reservations must be made in advance. Please make sure to arrange your time reasonably to avoid wasting time. 🕙Opening hours: Each attraction is different, usually open around 9 am and stop admitting guests at 4-5 pm. Be sure to check the official website before traveling, arrange your itinerary reasonably, and don't miss it. 🍱Food recommendations 1. Meat swallows: a specialty snack in Fuzhou, thin and tough swallow skin wrapped with tender meat filling, shaped like a flying swallow. After being cooked in soup, the soup is delicious. A bite of it is refreshing and chewy, starting a day full of energy. 2. Fish balls: Each one is plump and filled with meat stuffing. The aroma of fish and meat blends perfectly, floating in the hot soup. When you bite it, the juice overflows. It is a popular snack on the streets. 3. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall: A famous dish in Fuzhou, it brings together a variety of delicacies from land and sea such as abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, etc., simmered over a slow fire. The soup is rich and mellow, rich in nutrients, and you can taste the authentic essence of Fujian cuisine. 4. Taro paste: It is delicate and soft, sweet and delicious. It is made from taro as the main ingredient and melts in your mouth. As a dessert, it is sweet but not greasy, leaving you with an endless aftertaste. 🏨Hotel Accommodation 1. Gulou District Hotel: We recommend Shangri-La Hotel in Gulou District, Fuzhou. It has a superior geographical location, close to Sanfang Qixiang, Lin Zexu Memorial Hall and other attractions. The surrounding facilities are complete, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the service is first-class, and it is convenient to travel and can quickly reach the city attractions. 2. Jin'an District Hotels: The All Seasons Hotel in Jin'an District, Fuzhou is cost-effective and close to Gushan Mountain, Guling Mountain, etc. You can quickly return to your room to rest after a day of sightseeing. The hotel has complete facilities, rich dining options, and you can also enjoy the city scenery of Jin'an District. 3. Hotels in Taijiang District: If you choose to stay overnight for the Minjiang Night Cruise, Dongbai Center, etc., the InterContinental Hotel in Taijiang District has a beautiful environment and is close to the business district. Some rooms offer river or city views. The hotel has complete facilities and you can enjoy a relaxing vacation. 💡Tips 1. The temperature in Fuzhou changes frequently in February, so remember to bring a light jacket so that you can add or remove clothes at any time. 2. When tasting Fuzhou cuisine, the flavors tend to be sweet and fresh. If you are not used to it, you can communicate with the waiter in advance to make adjustments to ensure that you enjoy the meal. 3. When visiting museums, historical sites and other attractions, please abide by the regulations, do not touch the cultural relics, protect the environment and travel in a civilized manner. My dears, Fuzhou, which we visited because of “Fuzhou, Fuzhou”, is full of charm. So hurry up and make arrangements to start this trip to Rongcheng💖!
